Diets mean restrictions and nobody is a fan of restrictions. Turns out, on the keto diet you can have your cake and eat it too. This recipe uses coconut flour and replaces sugar with a low carb sweetener, such as Stevia or Xylitol. Our keto chocolate mug cake recipe is still packed with chocolatey goodness and not the cardboard aftertaste of many prepackaged health foods.
